Fundraising
Most fundraising resets to zero every year. This kind builds on itself. Gifts take one tap, memberships renew on their own, and every giver stays part of the community they joined.
How the world does it
An appeal every December.
A form with eleven fields.
A receipt. Then silence.
89 of 100 first-time donors
never give again.
Why does generosity expire in January?
How we do it
Not on a form three clicks away. Giving is imbued in the Collective Space, alongside stories that earn it, and carry it forward.

After choosing a giving tier, checkout is easier than ever. No account creation standing between the impulse to join and the gift.
Your monthly gift to
Community Gardens
One tap. Done.

Monthly tiers with perks made plain. The default is staying, and supporters can change or cancel anytime on their own.

ActiveChange or cancel anytime. No phone call required.
03
Every gift turns into a visible member of the Space: ribboned, recognized, part of the wall. Not a line in next year's export.
The proof
One-time donors melt away. Monthly supporters compound. The difference is structural, not effort.
